Do you think James Gunn is a :eek::eek::eek::eek:?

I never did get the bear humour when it started popping up. Just more sick fuck shit tbh.

Like @Strange King said, a lot of people both male and female get molested. When you grow up on the wrong side of the tracks you meet a lot of people that have been through it. Not really a funny topic in general. If he was a comic and had a bit on it, that would be one thing. But it's just comment after comment supporting philia, what just for shock value? And by a guy that's older than any of us, so he can't use immaturity as an excuse.


I'm not saying making those comments automatically makes him a , but damn that is a bad look. Most rational adults with any degree of empathy wouldn't want to make THAT MANY comments like that, just out of respect.

That’s actually not true. There’s tons of people that have fantasies and never act them out in their entire lives.

What a strange thing to say. I gotta say, you are definitely suspect.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Sounds like 4chan/IRC type humor. It's one thing to do it there and another to do it on Twitter where the masses see it.

I think he's just trolling and trying to be funny to the wrong audience that doesn't get it.

I guess Jim Norton should be fired from all his gigs for his Uncle Paul character then.

Twitter is not a gig. You dig what I'm saying? Even if he isn't a phile he's a dumb ass who is getting served up for his dumb ass statements which some of them don't even look like jokes, there is no set up, there is no punch line.

Exactly what audience "gets it?" Who finds child sex jokes funny? You might claim there is an audience for child sex jokes but I don't know a single person that would find that funny, not one. Even hard core criminals with no qualms about almost anything will kill you for that shit in prison. So I'm not sure who this audience is you refer to. NAMBLA?

for sure, and I would argue every slice of Dark Comedy could be redirected and turned into some seriously heavy psychological realism in the hands of certain storytellers, being shot is either Kat Williams funny or it's a horrific and tragic scene from a gritty TV show or its some true story that never fit into anyone's category

either way our experience of events varies and deserves its own weight in countless contexts, that's why dark humor is so tough to place, and even dramatic reenactment falls under fire by audiences who make their case as to why they didn't need surprise rape scenes in their favorite movies, all media and all artistic expression can traumatize and/or disrupt, the only determination people should make here is whether the employer should control that expression from their employees, or whether Twitter should ____ or comedy should _____ dictate your terms absolutely, but don't tell me any of these representations are black/white in the interpretive context, any reference can be just as traumatizing given the imagery

 

[Law Talkin’ Guy]

Is it too late for Gunn to tweet “Tha Aristocrats!”?

 

[Hogey]

What did Gunn do that makes some of you think he is great?

 

[lsa]

Don't know who he is but i'm just gonna go ahead and condemn him anyway.

Agree. Better safe than sorry.

To be fair its not like he was doing it recently, these tweets come from an era when he was making smaller scale far more risqué work like Super or porn spoofs.

 

[Bagatur]

whether he is or not is inconsequential. he got shit on because he is scum. just my opinion.

Or you just need to look it up.

Boom! great post.

I had a conversation with a buddy at work that said he wanted to defend him because he did comedy in his films so he felt he was joking and my response to him was not unlike yours, that if he gave the audience context in which his joke came from people would give him more slack. but when you blatantly say things that are really offensive, you cant defend yourself.

ill air on the side of caution and say hes a sick fuck

Very suspect. He had that james gunn effect where he couldnt hold in his weirdness on sherdog

good post but where it falls short is no one knows if theyre jokes. Thats where most of the heat is coming from. People are assuming that its a joke but we dont know his mind. We can only take what he gives us to assume and like people have said there is no punch line. this sounds like random rants about fucking kids.

 

[Strange King]

there is no kid fucking in super which would indicate more so that these were his thoughts and not some buttons he wanted to push

 

[Strange King]

Like I said - bait.

Not playing that game tonight.

Other posters have seen you now. Its too late

That’s not the only thing they’ve seen of me.

 

[Strange King]

On Friday, Sean Gunn retweeted a profile in which James Gunn talked about his questionable jokes and tweets from earlier in his life, and how he’d grown as a person away from the need to do that, largely thanks to his work with Marvel.

And on Saturday, he discussed how James Gunn had changed across his life and career, specifically because of his work within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the “Guardians” movies.

This sounds like he was a fucked up person before marvel. Probably liked kids would be my guess

Not sure I follow that logic at all or indeed what it actually has to do with my post.
